Gina's Path to Healing with the Keto-Carnivore Diet

Lifelong Athlete, Sudden Decline
Gina, a 52-year-old wife, mom, and dental hygienist, had spent her adult life immersed in physical activity. From weightlifting in her 20s to karate in her 30s and marathon running into her 40s and 50s, fitness was central to her identity.

But in 2019, preparing to celebrate her 50th birthday with a 50-mile race, Gina’s health began to spiral. Severe fatigue, numbness, and muscle heaviness left her unable to run. With tests for MS returning negative, she was left without answers.

The Vegan Detour
In desperation, Gina turned to veganism—encouraged by her running partner and plant-based documentaries. For 18 months, she followed a whole-food vegan lifestyle. But her health only worsened. She developed gallbladder pain and eventually had it removed. Her long-standing IBS became debilitating. She experienced severe anemia, joint and bone pain, brain fog, and rapid weight gain.

Her physical condition deteriorated to the point of contemplating leaving her job. Still, she didn’t initially connect the dots between her diet and her health.

Discovery and Transition to Keto-Carnivore
Gina stumbled upon a blog titled “Why I Am No Longer Vegan.” For the first time, she questioned whether her diet could be the cause. That moment launched her into researching keto-carnivore lifestyles and the experiences of others who had healed through it.

She transitioned slowly—removing vegetables, keeping oatmeal temporarily, and increasing her meat intake. By mid-December 2022, she was fully keto-carnivore.

Transformational Results
The transformation was remarkable. Gina lost the 20 pounds she had gained. Her joint and bone pain disappeared. Migraines dropped by 90%. Her mental clarity returned. But most importantly, her IBS vanished. After years of discomfort and preoccupation with gut health, Gina could finally live free from digestive distress.

She’s back to lifting weights and feels stronger and more vibrant than she has in years. Her renewed energy and clarity are so impactful, she’s begun sharing the keto-carnivore message with her dental patients.

Looking Forward
​Gina is passionate about the keto-carnivore lifestyle—not just for herself, but for others trapped in metabolic illness. With renewed hope, she looks to the future with confidence, strength, and a deep desire to help others heal as she has.
